This paper presents two different efficiency-enhancement techniques for probabilistic model building genetic algorithms. The first technique proposes the use of a mutation operator which performs local search in the sub-solution…

Predicting the cheapest sample size for the optimal stratification in multivariate survey design is a problem in cases where the population frame is large. A solution exists that iteratively searches for the minimum sample size necessary to…

We investigate a family of $(\mu+\lambda)$ Genetic Algorithms (GAs) which creates offspring either from mutation or by recombining two randomly chosen parents. By scaling the crossover probability, we can thus interpolate from a fully…

The Building Block Hypothesis (BBH) states that adaptive systems combine good partial solutions (so-called building blocks) to find increasingly better solutions. It is thought that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) implement the BBH. However, for…

Genetic algorithms (GAs) that solve hard problems quickly, reliably and accurately are called competent GAs. When the fitness landscape of a problem changes overtime, the problem is called non--stationary, dynamic or time--variant problem.…

Protein structure prediction can be shown to be an NP-hard problem; the number of conformations grows exponentially with the number of residues. The native conformations of proteins occupy a very small subset of these, hence an exploratory,…

One important feature of complex systems are problem domains that have many local minima and substructure. Biological systems manage these local minima by switching between different subsystems depending on their environmental or…

Traditionally Genetic Algorithm has been used for optimization of unimodal and multimodal functions. Earlier researchers worked with constant probabilities of GA control operators like crossover, mutation etc. for tuning the optimization in…

Multi-model inference covers a wide range of modern statistical applications such as variable selection, model confidence set, model averaging and variable importance. The performance of multi-model inference depends on the availability of…

This paper analyzes the relative advantages between crossover and mutation on a class of deterministic and stochastic additively separable problems. This study assumes that the recombination and mutation operators have the knowledge of the…

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are known for their efficiency in solving combinatorial optimization problems, thanks to their ability to explore diverse solution spaces, handle various representations, exploit parallelism, preserve good…

Genetic algorithm (GA) is an efficient tool for solving optimization problems by evolving solutions, as it mimics the Darwinian theory of natural evolution. The mutation operator is one of the key success factors in GA, as it is considered…

A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed in which each member of the population can change schemata only with its neighbors according to a rule. The rule methodology and the neighborhood structure employ elements from the Cellular Automata (CA)…

The implementation of adaptive genetic algorithms (AGA) for optimization problems has proven to be superior than many other methods due to its nature of producing more robust and high quality solutions. Considering the complexity involved…

The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and assembly of solution from sub-solution with strong non-linear…

Nowadays genetic algorithm (GA) is greatly used in engineering pedagogy as an adaptive technique to learn and solve complex problems and issues. It is a meta-heuristic approach that is used to solve hybrid computation challenges. GA…

We return to the geometry optimization problem of Lennard-Jones clusters to analyze the performance dependence of "cut and splice" genetic algorithms (GAs) on the employed population size. We generally find that admixing twinning mutation…

A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search method that optimises a population of solutions by simulating natural evolution. Good solutions reproduce together to create better candidates. The standard GA assumes that any two solutions can mate.…

Data-driven modeling plays an increasingly important role in different areas of engineering. For most of existing methods, such as genetic programming (GP), the convergence speed might be too slow for large scale problems with a large…

Community detection in complex networks is a topic of considerable recent interest within the scientific community. For dealing with the problem that genetic algorithm are hardly applied to community detection, we propose a genetic…
